    Hot Fuzz. There are so many easter eggs in the movie that you'll still be finding new ones a dozen watches later.

    Palm Springs , because it's an easy watch, it's funny and there is not much to stress out about.

    Any of the "Cornetto trilogy" by Edgar Wright and starring Pegg and Frost, my favorite being Hot Fuzz . I'd even add Scott Pilgrim. There are so many details, jokes, references and other easter eggs that I just don't tire of watching them.

    Finally, one of my all-time favs is Amelie , it awakened my love for cinema, it is beautiful, it has a heartwarming message and there is no real conflict in it.

    Eh, kinda. The actual story is a bit shit till the aliens, and then it ends just as it could've started to get interesting.

    I grew up in the towns and countryside World's End was filmed in though, and was big into goth, so basically every location in the film is a place I recognise and the soundtrack and music references always make me smile.

    Also "fuck off you big lamp" makes me laugh every time.

    I feel the same way. Except I hated the aliens too. But like you said, right as the movie starts to get interesting, roll credits.

    Can't relate at all to the location, unfortunately, because I'm not from England (nor The UK, for that matter). So the scenery didn't really do anything for me.

    Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are absolute masterpieces, however.

    "Marathon Man" It was written by the author of "The Princess Bride" and was designed to need rewatching. A minor character in one scene shows up halfway through the story. A casual conversation gives away an entirely new slant on two characters.

    "Big Trouble In Little China." I can't believe I'm the first to mention this one. Completely stupid on every level, yet it works perfectly.

    I just rewatched Goldeneye the other day and oh boy did it NOT hold up. I dunno, in my head it was amazing and seeing it again it's all so ever the top in all the wrong ways that this is one movie I won't see again

    Glengarry Glen Ross

    It's the only movie where I watched it was was like "shit, I could watch it again right away". And I did. And again it was great. After that I rewatched it many times. The acting is just sooooo good it never gets boring. I think Spacey has the weakest performance there and it says a lot if two Academy Award winning actor looks average compared to his castmates.

    Not aliens per se, but Sunshine is great. Awesome ensemble cast headed up by Cillian Murphy on a journey to the sun.

    Annihilation is an excellent sci-fi/ cosmic horror centered around our perception of alien "life", and will it even recognize us as life when we meet it. Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac.

    The classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Admittedly more notable for Kubrick's filmmaking than the plot, but still a mind-blowingly cool movie.

    Enemy Mine for the other end of the spectrum, about a human and an alien learning to work together / overcome their innate xenophobia.

    Likewise. If you haven't seen Bugonia, came out last year or maybe early this year, put it on the top of your list. Based on your taste, I'm willing to put it at a 9/10, I thought it was an easy 10

    I just watched it last night! I need to watch it again, but I don't know if I liked it as much as Poor Things. The cast was electrifying on screen together, but the end threw me. I almost think it would have worked better as a standard woman against her captors movie. Still loved it, though. 9/10 even with my nitpicking. I love Yorgos Lanthimos' work.

    If you liked 'Knives Out' watch "The Last of Shelia"

    The director says that this movie was the original inspiration; it's got twists you'll never see coming.

    I used to rewatch "The man who wasn't there" yearly. I'd often desaturate the TV because out works so well in black and white.

    Braid (dir by Mitzi Peirone)

    This is probably my favourite film of the last decade, it's beautifully shot, written and directed, and the three lead actresses are fantastic.

    Imo Braid is endlessly rewatchable too as it never fully explains what's actually going on, or what is fully real, and with each rewatch you notice new things and kinda start to piece more of the story together.

    Being There

    Grandma's Boy

    Others have added many of the same that I would also, so I'll keep to just these two. They are two of my favorites. One serious/semi-serious, one comedy. There's something special about Being There for me. Maybe it's that I consider myself a simpleton like Peter Seller's character, I don't know. Grandma's Boy, with its theme of video games and weed smoking, is also right up my alley! Too funny!

    I know it's not the best movie and probably not a rewatch for most, but I love to watch "stay" (2005) the entire weird ambiance of it and the way it was directed just makes it a yearly rewatch for me
